Kapitel 44: You're dead to me.

Tobias' POV —

I sit there, in the middle of chaos, clutching her body to mine. Around me, people scream and scramble to call an ambulance but I already know there's no hope. The tears have dried up and I sit there numb, emotionless. I'd finally found my person and she'd been taken away from me.

Have I really done such evil in life to deserve this?

I know I haven't lived a perfect life and I've done unspeakable things but Trish didn't need to pay the price for that.

"I'm so sorry," I whisper, stroking her hair away from her face. The rain continues to pelt down on us both and everyone around me blurs out until it's just me and her. I close my eyes and breathe in her scent because I know it'll probably be the last time I'm able to. In the distance, I hear the sirens of the police and the ambulance approaching us.

"I'm sorry." I repeat, hanging my head in sorrow as my heart continues to break into a million pieces.
